what's up with all the intimacy in here?
I love graphic novels now. I burned through two of them yesterday and I want to buy more but I am pretty broke. The one I read before I went to bed last night was called city of glass and it was really good. The drawings were really clever and I dunno there is something neat about drawings and words together that you can make sort of funny jokes and references, and I like it. The book was about this writer who was pretending to be a detective and he was stalking this guy who was trying to reinvent or rediscover language because he thought before we were cast out of eden words meant more; what they meant they got severed from their meanings afterwards. It is sort of hard to describe I guess. There is just something about stories and illustrations that makes me think of things in a weird way and also I can't even understand it exactly- I do not even know why I think of certain things or why some thoughts make sense to me. That is sort of what was interesting about the book because it made you sort think in way that is not really just words or pictures so you are reading a book about a language that is supposed to be perfect and you are sort of reading it in language you sort of understand but sort of don't.
I suppose that was not the most interesting paragraph to read. I would really like to learn to draw better- I mean I think I really want to illustrate more than just make paintings or whatever but I am not especially strong at drawing. I guess I am not especially strong at painting either bler blah whatever. I guess it is dumb to say I am not very good at this so I won't do it especially if you are not particularly gifted at anything else either.
I am in a bit of a weird phase lately where I am like oh I think I might end up being a loner bush woman- that is not to say that in a oh no doom prophecy! I just mean I am like uh-oh I think I am rejecting society. umm haha at myself for saying that.
